A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.
[THREAD]
A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset
Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.
These factors make up the trading trinity.
In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)

- https://t.co/VogPh4QNHM
- https://t.co/OoMHVH19CX
I hone in on my top 2.
Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH
Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars
TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day
I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.
I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.
When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.
I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.
Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.
*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.
This helps me better understand the price action.
I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.
I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.
You can calculate position size by:
Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.
I don’t hold bags!
Either I will:
1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.
I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.
It works for me but it may not work for you.
You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.
Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.
There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.
It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
